What did Julie smell and hear?

I hope that I give you the correct answer that you are looking for.  Julie (Miyax) smells and hears a lot of different things throughout the entire book.  I do not have much context to go on.  There is a single paragraph early in the book that mentions both of those senses within the same paragraph.  I am going to assume that is what you are looking for.

I hope that I give you the correct answer that you are looking for.  Julie (Miyax) smells and hears a lot of different things throughout the entire book.  I do not have much context to go on.  There is a single paragraph early in the book that mentions both of those senses within the same paragraph.  I am going to assume that is what you are looking for.  


At this point in the story Julie has been spending quite a bit of time trying to learn who each wolf is.  Julie is also trying to learn the wolf language, because she needs to ask them for help.  She is hungry and in desperate need of food, because she is lost on the North Slope of Alaska.  Julie has early success with the wolf pups, and she is elated that she is communicating with the wolves.  Her reverie is interrupted by the return of Amaroq and his hunters, but she doesn't only see them approach.  Her nose and ears also alert her to the new presence.  Julie first hears the swish of grass, and then she smells the wolves' fur.  



Sliding back to her camp, she heard the grass swish and looked up to see Amaroq and his hunters sweep around her frost heave and stop about five feet away. She could smell the sweet scent of their fur.

What are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking. He faces opposition from the government and the people who enforce this law. Montag struggles to come to terms with the fact that his society is based on censorship and control. Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government. Montag's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage adds to his external conflict. Conflict with the fire captain: Montag's superior, Captain Beatty, is the personification of the oppressive regime that Montag is fighting against. Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

In A People's History of the United States, why does Howard Zinn feel that Wilson made a flimsy argument for entering World War I?

"War is the health of the state," the radical writer Randolph Bourne said, in the midst of the First World War. Indeed, as the nations of Europe went to war in 1914, the governments flourished, patriotism bloomed, class struggle was stilled, and young men died in frightful numbers on the battlefields-often for a hundred yards of land, a line of trenches. -- Chapter 14, Page 350, A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn outlines his arguments for why World War I was fought in the opening paragraph of Chapter 14 (referenced above). The nationalism that was created by the Great War benefited the elite political and financial leadership of the various countries involved. Socialism, which was gaining momentum in Europe, as was class struggle, took a backseat to mobilizing for war. Zinn believes that World War I was fought for the gain of the industrial capitalists of Europe in a competition for capital and resources. He states that humanity itself was punished by t...
